Today Google launched Lively, a browser-based Second Life clone where users create avatars and rooms and can chat with complete strangers. It did not run very well on my gaming PC, and that does not bode well for it in my opinion. It is neat for about five minutes, but gets boring pretty quick. Unless you are into Second Life and/or chatting with random people with a 3D avatar that looks nothing like you, you will probably feel the same way. This could potentially give Second Life some competition, but at this point it is little more than a chat room. I’ll give it another go when users can actually create their own content.

After getting addicted to DiRT for the Xbox 360, I started making a top-down, rally game in flash. Assuming I have the time, I’d like have a ton of tracks and cars as well as online racing/tournaments. It is very unpolished at this point and only has 1 track and 1 car… but here it is after a few hours.

You may have noticed that it has been a while since my last post. For the last few months I have been putting the finishing touches on a social networking script I wrote. If you are into reading and writing poetry and stories, making friends online, having a public journal, and getting achievements (awesome) for doing it, check out the new members section at Lovingyou.com. If you are not into any of that, you can check out my profile at any rate.

Marvel Comics has launched a subscription service that allows you to read Marvel Comics online. They already have many comics inlcuding the first run of the original X-Men, issues 1-100 of Amazing Spider-Man, and issues 1-100 of Fantastic Four. The supscription costs $9.99 per month or $59.88 annually ($4.99/mo). Considering it would cost you a fortune to collect all these comics, it is a great deal.

For more information, visit Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited.
